1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Edit: This is from their Toho series, based on old Japanese movies? I have another one from the same series, but this one was in a box.

Ah, yes. I do recall that one.

I'm glad they went with the box (even a big one). It's so much cooler than the blister card!

@a6m5 im talking about the white xj220/basic series cars not the $3 series with rubber tires.

Walgreen's the only major retailer to carry them that I know of. P.S. What $3 series?

I may not mention this a whole lot, but I think the oversized TLV boxes are overrated.

The entertainment ones if I find them in stores which most of them I did. They were around $3.

Tuesday's hunt was 👎. Toys 'R' Us threw up some backdated finds. Got a third but can't remember which it was now.

Then Thursday got me back on a high. 2 more '17 A case cars in an ASDA via a 'shipper' sized transparent tube bin?

And the Super Trofeo and MX-5 via the asking to see a half opened box on the stock shelf.

Plus one of my favourite regular TH of the year at a Halfords.

My missus has actually become slightly addicted due to subs and bats. So on the look out for K.I.T.T.s and Mystery Machines also from now. I'm only after GT '17 and MBX MX-5 pretty much. 👍

That Huracan Super Trofeo is the best thing to come out of Hot Wheels in a while.

Clean, intricate casting. First time I've bought a dupe in a long time. I put the third up on the peg.

So a loose steering wheel? I bought a Greenlight 1:43 Fast and Furious car about a year ago. It had two steering wheels, one in its proper place and one randomly floating about the interior of the car. So someone somewhere has a Paul Walker Eclipse without a steering wheel.

Killbuzz time: This is probably unlikely.

Killbuzz over:

2006 Kyosho Beads 6004A
Datsun 240Z 1971 Safari Rally

edit: huh. the front bumper is crooked.

I knew which series you were referring to, but I think they are generally $4.50 & up in my area.

Andy! What are you good for exactly!?

Oh.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So I am going to be moving soon and am probably going to try and sell a bunch of stuff before doing so, just so that I don't have to carry everything from one place to another. I'm not going to sell every casting, just color variations I don't really care for. Keeping the best of the best. Going to make a list and I'll post it here first to see if anyone is interested before listing them on eBay.

(no comments from negative nancies please - you know who you are)

I told ya so.

Andy! What are you good for exactly!? Oh.

Keeping you guys in check, taking names, and giving you some of the goodiest cars for low prices.

One day, I may sell that 240. If I graduate from model replicas that is.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Negative Nancies apparently don't listen either.

Sheesh I'm only teasing you. I was hoping a deliberately truncated the quote AND a smiley would make it easier to tell it was in all light-heartedness.

 

[Zychotic1]

personally I think think the crooked bumper on that car is just fine... the car became famous with a few bends (including the bumper) and were NEVER repaired... so its accurate

Yeah I can easily excuse the crooked part as part of a beaten rally car. I'm willing to perceive it as such with the same logic.

Edit:

2017 Case by Lamley

 

[MedigoFlame]

Some upcoming TLV's.

I want the Autech R33 sedan!!!!

Got my TLV's.

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh dear, think I'm going to need both those Supra's.

Nice.

The other day, I commented that I didn't check Walmart for two days & they got new dump bin in, Gran Turismo cars & I missed them all. I skipped Thursday, but I checked while shopping again today. This time I missed the Truck series. All Datsun 620 gone. Same the other day with Kroger. Three shipments over time with the Truck series, everything there in multiple quantities, pegs look untouched, but Datsuns are always gone. Very scalper heavy item online, but instead of paying the premium, in the way of a pleasant protest, I am going to give my money to Tomica instead.

I did finally... FINALLY buy this today:

Keeping the GT, Lotus & Porsche. Maybe the Corvette.

I'm not gonna lie. I am fully entertained every time this happens. Every time.

Dibs.

You know, I saw all of those pics + the flatbed truck @Spacegoat showed us awhile back? I saw that R33, but it didn't even hit me that it was a new casting at the time I saw that pic. I'll add that to my wish list, but still the flatbed & Prelude is the top-2 for me!

P.S. If you are on Facebook, check out Malaysia Tomica Limited Vintage Club. I recently joined, cool bunch of guys. 👍

Oh dear, think I'm going to need both those Supra's.

TLV Supras look really off to me. David guy commented on my blog that U.S. versions were wider. TLV Supra's body also look really flat to me. I might actually pass on those two. Pretty sure I won't get the police car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yay 2017 GT-R.

Also:

 

[a6m5]

I actually missed that Toyopet Crown Patrol Car, too. That'll be so sweet.

 

[Spacegoat]

+ the flatbed truck @Spacegoat showed us awhile back?

Wait, did I post that here or in just our convo? I can't recall.

Here it is anyway.

Spoiler

TLV Supras look really off to me.

Really? Aside from the weak wheels on the first two, I can't fault them too much.

Pretty sure I won't get the police car.

Looking at the post again, I might need to see some more pics of the police car first. Pace car is an automatic order though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What's the black car in the 5th photo? Prelude?

 

[Johnny1996]

I had a pretty decent score tonight, but because I'm going to a World of Outlaws race tomorrow night I'm going to wait until Sunday to post everything in case I pick up some stuff at the track. More cars to post, more cars for your viewing pleasure of course.

 

[a6m5]

What's the black car in the 5th photo? Prelude?

They are. & here's the pic I saw on Facebook @Spacegoat

@Spacegoat - I know it looks almost as big as the 1/43 taxi in the back, but don't worry; I can see the card for the Mark II driving onto the bed & it says "Japanese Car Era". That Mark II I have on preorder & as you are aware, Japanese Car Era is 1/64 scale. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Picked this guy up tonight (not my pic) because awesome. Somehow I missed the red one that was released first, will have to snag that one off eBay. I promptly used a silver paint marker to detail the wheel of the spare tire on the back there just so everything matched.

 

[Spacegoat]

& here's the pic I saw on Facebook @Spacegoat

Thanks for sharing. 👍

Yeah see, that's what had me fooled.

This would have been a must have anyway but the fact that it has moving parts puts it completely over the top. Hate to think how pricey it's going to be though.

 

[Johnny1996]

Those of you going to Kday tomorrow/this morning, good luck.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

This will probably be my last one since they're finally deciding to close the k marts in Michigan. Dk about the rest.

 

[yabiggoose]

Only found one moderately decent car lately, a Hot Wheels Halo Warthog. No pics because I cbf.

 

[a6m5]

I didn't see anything interesting with this K-Day anyway. Pass.

Yeah see, that's what had me fooled.

It's almost like they are doing it on purpose. Pic you posted had similar issue with the 1/43 in the background also!

Hate to think how pricey it's going to be though.

Probably only $1,000,000. rofl
